i love the bounding roo as a special occasions jumper personally. it's a unique jumper from a magical period in our club's history, it shouldn't be run into the ground. i think it should be the friday nights jumper, since that's another thing synonymous with North in the 90s. our home jumper should always be the one the four premierships were won in, north's most powerful jumper design going back to the days of syd barker.

i've posted this picture before but it's really the best display of how close the front stripes and the back stripes should be to each other. they wrap around evenly. to me, that's one of the most important details. it just looks better to not have a big abyss under the arms, and it makes the strip less vulnerable to the AFL's silly clash policy, since there's far more blue.

The jumper Blight has on is perfection!

It also looks much stronger. The likes of Blighty, Glendinning and Snake Baker always appeared to be stretching the stripes around their barrel chest.

any word when and if we will know if we have a football sponsor? I get a wellness allowance from work and was gonna use part of it buying a new sherrin and you can't buy a North one. I've heard it's because we never got a ball sponsor last year. Anyone know how I could find out if it will happen this year?

Not sure if they are our new ball sponsor?

I honestly wonder how bad sales have been with Canterbury.

The new Polo top in mostly grey is just disgraceful. Worst I've ever seen.

Do we as a club get hit on low sales, or as contractor they do for producing rubbish continually and we paid anyway?

The campaign has been run and won.

I refused to accept the white on blue and never purchased it. I love a new jumper but it is/was cuck of the highest order.

Oh, you had me until you used the word cuck. :rolleyes: Isn't that like calling someone a pansy or calling a woman a sheila? Bit tired, no?

Best news in a lonnnnnnnnnng time.

And don't just wear it with the white shorts.

The AFL's clash policies during the AFLW season should be used against them. Two weeks ago, we went up against Collingwood in the same white stripes on dark background jumper. The AFL decided that white shorts against dark shorts was difference enough. Then in the Indigenous round last week, they allowed two teams to play each other in basically white jumpers. If they've given up on the light jumper vs dark jumper, then we can return to our traditional jumper with blue shorts for home games.

We could actually wear our traditional strip with blue shorts against 9 teams in away games with no clash.

No it’s means s**t.

I don’t use words like pansy or sheila (not that there is anything wrong with that) - reason is I have too many gay campaigners in my family.

Yep. It's the business design wise.

How *ing hard is it? Our guernsey has become predominantly white with thin stripes.

Went to see how much and maybe buy the jacket LDU was wearing. (black with white trim....North logo. Looked great)

Be stuffed if I can find it at RooShop? Any ideas?
